Summary
Understanding factors influencing hospital-based nurses' engagement with continuing professional development (CPD) is key. Individual resources, motivation, organizational commitment, and managerial support significantly impact CPD uptake.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Professional Development
Background:
- Continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for nurse registration and career progression.
- Understanding factors influencing nurse engagement can improve CPD participation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify factors influencing hospital-based nurses' engagement with continuing professional development (CPD) activities within the UK.
- To synthesize current evidence on nurse engagement with CPD.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review methodology was employed, incorporating narrative synthesis.
- Searches of published and grey literature were conducted across multiple databases (January 1995 - November 2018).
- Studies were critically appraised, data extracted, and findings synthesized following an approved protocol.
Main Results:
- Five studies met the inclusion criteria for the review.
- Four key themes emerged: nurses' individual resources, professional motivation, organizational commitment to learning, and managerial support.
- These factors collectively influence nurses' engagement with CPD.
Conclusions:
- Nurse engagement with CPD is influenced by a complex interplay of personal, professional, and organizational factors.
- A practical tool, a question-based checklist, is proposed to aid discussions between nurses and stakeholders to enhance CPD engagement.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force?

In this situation,...
